When running WinDirStat against a drive, I'd like the option to save the report so that I can look at it later while "offline" away from the system it was run on.
I've looked around the program and can't see this option. Am I missing something, can this be done with WinDirStat?
If it can't be done, is there a way similar to WinDirStat that will allow me to save the results of a drive space scan to delve into them at a later date?
WinDirStat does have an email report feature but I've never been able to get it to work.
Like I said in my comment, the export report feature is still an open issue.
SpaceSniffer is a similar tool that has an export feature.
The report can be generated by selecting "Report" > "Send email to owner". For those contributors and readers saying that they can't get that option to work (as it's greyed out): You have to manually select an item in the list (which can be the root element) to be able to generate a report. The amount of information shown is determined by what's shown in the list. The more items are expanded there, the more information will be shown in the e-mail.
The Report option works for me if I close down Outlook fist. Running WinDirStat 1.1.2.80 and Outlook 2016 on windows 7
You can use the Linux program: ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage) on windows
ncdu works very well to load saved output.
Not really a GUI, but still console browsable.
You can save output with -o
ncdu /mnt/c -o my_c_drive.ncdu
You can then view with -f
ncdu -f my_c_drive.ncdu
I am able to use this with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
